Columbia suspends students after deadline to end Gaza camp passes

The number of arrests has crossed 1,100 since New York police detained first demonstrators at Columbia on April 18.

Columbia University has begun suspending student demonstrators after they defied an ultimatum to disperse.

The New York University, the epicentre of pro-Palestinian protests that have upended college campuses across the United States, made the call on Monday.

The move follows almost two weeks of protests against Israel’s war in Gaza, which have swept through higher education institutions from coast to coast, and spread into Europe. The demonstrators have demanded that the universities cease all investment in Israel or companies that are seen as supporting its war effort.

The response of the authorities has been tough, with critics of the protests referring to sporadic instances of anti-Semitism. About 100 protesters were arrested at Columbia on April 18.

In the latest crackdown, authorities at the prestigious university in New York had demanded that the protest encampment be cleared by 2pm (18:00 GMT) or students would face disciplinary action.

“These repulsive scare tactics mean nothing compared to the deaths of over 34,000 Palestinians,” said a statement, read out by a student at a news conference after the deadline passed, referring to the death toll in Gaza.

“We will not move until Columbia meets our demands or … [we] are moved by force,” said the student.

A few hours later, Columbia vice president of communications, Ben Chang, said the university had “begun suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on our campus”.

He said students had been warned they would be “placed on suspension, ineligible to complete the semester or graduate, and will be restricted from all academic, residential, and recreational spaces”.

Meanwhile, at the University of Texas in Austin, police used pepper spray as they clashed with protesters on Monday. Arrests were made as they dismantled an encampment, adding to the more than 350 people detained nationwide over the weekend.

“No encampments will be allowed,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on social media. “Instead, arrests are being made.”

Protests against the Gaza war, with its high Palestinian civilian death toll, have posed a challenge to university administrators trying to balance free speech rights with complaints that the rallies have veered into anti-Semitism and hate.

Footage of police in riot gear summoned at various colleges to break up rallies has been viewed around the world, recalling the protest movement that erupted during the Vietnam War.

Columbia University president, Minouche Shafik, in a statement on Monday announcing talks had broken down, said, “Many of our Jewish students, and other students as well, have found the atmosphere intolerable in recent weeks.

“Many have left campus, and that is a tragedy,” she continued. “Anti-Semitic language and actions are unacceptable and calls for violence are simply abhorrent.”

Protest organisers deny accusations of anti-Semitism, arguing their actions are aimed at Israel’s government and its prosecution of the conflict in Gaza.

They also insist there have been incidents engineered by non-student agitators.

Students condemned the university’s attempts to silence the protesters and said they were determined to continue. “What trumps our fear is our love for Palestine, and our love for liberation, and our refusal to accept subjugation and censorship from an oppressive institution,” one said.

“ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DESERVE SELF DETERMINATION IN THEIR HOMELANDS!!!”

My brother in Christ you can’t even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and the thought that Jews are native.

P.S. the thought that only one group can be indigenous to a piece of land IS colonial thinking. Both Israelis and Palestinians are indigenous to the land, deal with it.

"Of course there are moments where you feel extremely distressed, and this is one of those tragic moments in our recent history, but I should also say that...it takes time.

It takes time, and oftentimes we cannot see where we are headed. But we have to believe that it is possible to make change, and we can't give up, we can't give up, we can't not hope, because hope is the condition of all struggles."

"You're nonbinary and queer! You should be supporting Israel!"

Hah!

No. <3

I don't care what you say, I am not supporting genocide!

I will never be prideful in genocide, pinkwashing, or apartheid. I will forever speak against it.

It's "Free Palestine" until Palestine is free.

From Turtle Island to Palestine.

as a Black American, the idea of what happens after Palestine is free, after the genocide has stopped, is freaky because the trauma is going to be rooted in these people for generations to come, just like how the trauma of the slave trade and shit is just engrained in Black Americans. Generational trauma is no joke, and it will impact Palestinians more than it already has all because a group of colonizers couldn’t resist colonizing more than they already have.

#this is near nonsensical but its on my mind #black american #kris’ rambles #palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #slavery #black lives matter #black-palestine solidarity #mixed kid

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/eu-fears-that-trump-s-return-to-power-could-collapse-nato-nyt Looks like your dream will come true when Trump wins next year. He will destroy NATO and it is the only security EU has so European democracies will collapse. Trump will make US fascist. Told you it will be work camps next. Does it matter if it will be the right or the left when both are always building work camps? How else will they solve the climate and overpopulation problem? Russia made the first move when they gave US and NATO the Ultimatum back in December 2021.

I'm struggling to understand something here. Make my 'dream' come true? The ENTIRE United States systems is built on imperialism, genocide, white supremacy, militarization, colonialism, among many other axis's of oppression. People are beyond sick and tired of the way these structures continue to suppress and oppress people around the world and in their 'own' country. Especially when nearly a trillion dollars go to funding a military that could be allocated and used to help people in the US have proper housing, access to food and medical resources, life saving care and medication, and overall a better standard of living.

A lot of us already live in capitalistic hellscapes. What do I have, or most people for that matter have to be consistently happy about (on philosophical and literal levels here) because so many of us are struggling to survive. Even in liberal governments, I know multiple people who have more than one job, and some of those people are actually working full-time or are on a salary. Grocery prices are also expected to go up AGAIN next year in Canada. And the way the government has been accountable here about this? Sending a few grocery rebates (while not even taking account of people in Northern communities -especially Indigenous communities everywhere in this settler state, which have been impacted by this for decades). There is a food security and housing crisis here too, and we're run by a liberal government, and the conservative party will evidently make things worse too, just to make things clear that this struggle is everywhere.

Also, when Trump was voted in, it was only then so many white women rallied because things were now starting to effect them -something Black, Brown, and Indigenous folks and folks in the disability justice movement HAVE been saying all along. There are too many American politicians who don't care because they're paid at the end of the day. I can think of a handful of exceptions in Congress, Congressional Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, to name a few. But to say that it's going to crash and burn thanks to the VERY people who have been saying this whole system is corrupt to the core is just wild to me. There will always be bigots who vote, over 70 million who love Trump and have defended him. There will also be people who vote for Biden, despite all he has done, too. There are also alternatives like Claudia De La Cruz and Karina Garcia, and rather then see them as 'taking away votes,' but as one of the many things you can do to say that these are the people in postions of power and advocate for them, but you're stuck in this in a bipartisan model and it really isn't reflexive and accountable to ongoing issues people have been facing in the US for years, but also being tired of their imperialistic violence. And want real change.

I'm also one SINGLE voice on this matter, so to put this entirely on me is something I'm truly at a loss for words for. Because when someone tries to argue 'but it's the lesser evil here,' then I sincerely ask you to unpack a sentiment like that.
